Acosta Danza Yunior will make its international debut in the UK

Acosta Danza Yunior will make its international debut today at MAST Mayflower Studios, located in the British city of Southampton, with a program to celebrate the rich folkloric traditions of Cuba.

The group, made up of young people from the academy of the famous Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta, will begin to offer its performances tonight and until September 21, according to its director.

From September 19 to 21, our talented young dancers will take the stage to present Green Shoots, Acosta indicated on his official Facebook profile.

“I am proud to have seen these dancers grow and prepare to show their art on an international stage,” he added.

A few months ago, in February of this year, Acosta Danza Yunior presented the same show at the Teatro Martí in Havana, and won the favor of the public and specialized critics with choreographies by Norge Cedeño, Susana Pous and Raúl Reinoso, among others.

The show Green Shoots shows the usual style of maestro Acosta, which usually covers styles of contemporary dance as well as classical ballet.

Founded in 2023, Acosta Danza Yunior aims to develop the next generation of dancers that will serve as a breeding ground for Carlos Acosta’s Cuban company.
